Indeed the sightings board would be the best indicator on where they have been seen, otherwise when you are in camp you are welcome to come and say hi then if i heard of any sightings I would gladly share it with you.

The best time to spot them are when they emerge from their holes to catch the early morning sun trying to heat up, then late in the afternoon before the sun sets is also a good time.

One more question, my friends. Planning the trip with Google Maps I found between Kamfersboom e Auchterlonie an indication of Frans Roussow's ashes. I googled it and found nothing (maybe first time this happened to me. Google is not God, after all! )

Sadly mostly what you see along that road are dead batearred foxes As anne-marie says, you may see the occassional raptor or springbok, but as the speed limit is 120km, and most drivers exceed that, it's not ideal for spotting much, even if it's there. I once drove the whole length of the road at 60km or less and I was amazed a how much more I saw! But usually we're all too eager to reach the park, or linger so long in the park that we must then drive the tar road fast, so we don't allow ourselves the time to travel at a more leisurely pace.
